IN THE FIRST DE
GREE,
WAS THE VERDICT OF THE
JURY IN TIE LAKEL-
LIEB TRIAL.
PUBLIC OPINION oN THE CASE.

The trial o. Charles Llkel for the
killing of Jacob Lieb, at Brandon
Vile, last May, began last Friday at
noon. The case was given to the
jury, after instructions from the
court, on the following Thursday
morning. The State was represent
ed by Neil ]. Fortney and p, j..
Crogan, and the defense by VIM. G..
Brown, Benz. +. Martin and Henry
Clay Hyde. In the argument Of the
case Mr.. Crogan, who made the
opening speech for the prosecution,
spoke for about three hours, and Mr..
Fortney spoke for one hour and
twenty-five minutes. On the side of
the defense, Mr.. Brown spoke for
one hour and ten minutes, Mr.Hydc,
one hour and ten minutes, and Mr.
Martin, who closed the argument for
the defense, two hours and half.
There was great interest manifested
in the trial and the court room was
crowded during the progress of the
trial.
I'm the afternoon, on Thursday, the
Jury returned a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree, further
finding that the accused be confined
i n the penitentiary. Should the &C
cused be sentenced under the YER
dict of the jury he will be confined
in the penitentiary during the period
of his natural life.
Among the many people who are
now attending court from the differ
ent sections of the county, and from
other counties, and who heard the
evidence and argument in the case,
large majority are loud in their
denunciation of verdict which they
look upon as an unjust and un-
righteous one. When the verdict
was read indignation was at the
highest pitch.
The scene in the courthouse, when
the verdict was read was one of the
most affecting we have ever witness.
ed. Mrs. Lakel, who has been her
husbands constant and devoted at
tendant during his trial, threw her
arms about his neck and sobbe1 and
cried in violent manner, and many
of the bystanders were brought to
tears,

The unprecedented sale Of Bos.
chee's German Syrup within a few
years, has astonished the world.
II is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and eHectual cure for Colds,
Coughs, and the severest Lung
Troubles. IL acts upon an entirely
different principle from the prescrip.
tiods usually given by physicians.
as It does not dry up a Cough and
leave the disease still in the system,
but on the contrary removes the
cause Of The trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save
doctors bills and a long spell Of Sc.
rious illness. A trial will convince
you Of these facts. It is positively
sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Prico 20 cts,

by Governor Gray. Again in Trouble.

The Governors parole of Frank Meyers a month
ago stipulated that he should leave the State and
never return to it. In asking for the parole the
friends of Meyers represented to Governor Gray
that he was going South to engage in the lumber
business. Instead of doing this Meyers went
to Louisville. where he remained couple of
weeks, and then returned to this city to assist
the Sim Coy gang. He has been in the city
since. and. although the Governor has been APP
prsed of the fact, no steps have been taken to-
ward returning him to prison. 1t is said that
last Friday night he was drunk in a West Wash
ington street saloon. and in a fit of madness,
drew a revolver and attempted to shoot man.
II took several men to disarm him. An effort
was made to keep the escapade from the OF
the Governor. and as Meyers has not been
around his old haunts for several days it is sup
posed that he has left the city. 1t given
out last week by the friends of Meyers that he
had been given half interest in Sim Coy's
saloon. but the business venture was reconsidered

A bank cashier who had stolen $50, 900 from
the bank and skipped out to Cincinnati, went to
a lawyer and said:
How can fix matters so as to be safe from
the law?"
Il will arrange to have the bank settle for
half the amount" was the prompt reply.
When this had been done the thief expressed
his great pleasure and satisfaction, and in
quired:
"And now what shall pay you for your serv-
icesl"
